Sure no problem, the comment lines up there were for my
reference only since the file was ridiculously hard to find
and took a lot of searching. If you drop this in place can you
also please put /afs/athena/system/rhlinux/control/list-8.4.25
in /afs/sipb/system/rhlinux/redhat-6.2/RedHat/ ? (since I believe
that's the root directory for an afs install).
